Who: Helen Janos and Marie-Ange Colbert When: Saturday, July 10, 2010 Where: MA's friend's place, NYC What: Girl talk and booze, BroHo style. MA and Helen compare notes on men.
This was one of the things she definitely missed because of being stuck at SHIELD. The women there weren't exactly the type Helen was just going to go have a drink with and have fun. Potts was polite but seriously uptight, Sofen was just really kind of creepy, and she almost thought Carpenter was a rage-filled lesbian except people claimed to have met her boyfriend last week. So that just meant she was a rage-filled straight chick.
They were all freaking out over the break-in too, enough so that they'd been talking about it. She'd already sent Magneto a report about it, fairly sure that if it had been Mystique on the job they would have alerted her.
So yeah, time away from it all to just chill and have a drink with a friend was very welcome. The fact that MA had landed a posh place for the time being didn't hurt matters either. Helen might have been OK living out of a backpack for months on end but that didn't mean she couldn't appreciate a luxurious setting when it was offered.
She was most of the way through her first drink when she asked MA wryly, "Do you think dragon attack would work as my resignation letter when the time comes?"
